Dear HCA Selection Committee,

“Wherever the art of medicine is loved, there is also a love of humanity.” from Hippocrates. This quote speaks to me because it illustrates the idea that medicine, healthcare, and being kind to others are truly key to healing people and improving humanity as a whole. That is the main reason why I want to be a doctor. I have always wanted to help people in any way I could and being in healthcare is certainly a great way to do so. By having a health career I could have the rare chance to save lives, which is something I have always desired to do. I would be able to change the course of another person’s life, show people goodwill, and offer them …show more content…

But in seventh grade, I was thinking more about my experiences throughout my life and taking into account what I was good at. I knew I enjoyed science and that I wasn’t afraid of blood because I had many surgeries, nosebleeds, and health problems as a child. Combining all of this, I realized that a health career could be a suitable fit for me. I told my parents this and they told me that could be a satisfactory job considering my tolerance for blood but they advised me to see if I enjoyed Living Environment in 8th grade. I wasn’t sure if I would like it considering my older sister did not appreciate it but I attended class trying to keep an open mind. During my 8th grade year, I discovered that I had a passion for science and loved learning about the human body. I was …show more content…

As soon as I knew what I wanted to do for a career, I knew Healthcare Academy was the perfect choice for me. I loved Living Environment and I have the academic skills needed to succeed in the academy. I have many characteristics that make me an exceptional candidate for HCA. I am particularly organized and always on task so I will be able to get my work done on time. I respect my teachers and classmates. I am also curious and have a love for learning that will be a noteworthy quality throughout the academy courses. I also love volunteering and I volunteer often for fun outside of school so the required volunteer hours will not be a concern for me. I am also good at memorizing things and I have heard that in Introduction to Health and Careers, you need to be able to memorize key ideas and vocab words. I will assuredly put in the work and time needed to be in Healthcare Academy as I do for everything else I am involved

However, I have chosen to apply only to the University of Michigan’s EMHSA program. Other than the fact that School of Public Health at the University of Michigan consistently ranks among the top programs in the country, it is the only program that takes an execution- focused approach to various aspects of healthcare delivery by offering courses like Leadership/Capstone, Health IT Management, Spreadsheet Modeling, Biostatistics and Health Economics. Several, if not all, programs offer these courses in some format, however, the University of Michigan’s program brings all these areas together. This, in my opinion, makes the program unique and strong.
